The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a macromolecular machine that delivers protein effectors into host cells and/or competing bacteria. The effectors may be delivered as noncovalently bound cargo of T6SS needle proteins (VgrG/Hcp/PAAR) or as C-terminal extensions of these proteins. Many <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> strains produce a T6SS, but little is known about the specific effectors or how they are delivered. In this study, we show that <i>A. baumannii</i> AB307-0294 encodes three <i>vg ...[more]
